I get your point, but mine is that if there are ways to nudge it to do better when creating code, there must be ways to nudge it to be more careful with operations and avoid the same issues.

So instead of saying it is "broken", I wonder if we are "holding it wrong" to get those outcomes?

Web is similarly full of "LLMs created this crappy codebase and/or code change", but others use it very successfully.

You are also right and I half agree - but the same issue arises with new employees. They already have some of this experience you are talking about - but usually there is something about the very environment they are in which causes them to learn lessons the hard way. And that experience does not transfer easily to the next colleague - and even less to an LLM. The only way I see to solve this is by having an "organisational memory".
